About Me
- Scott Myers
- I've been a screenwriter since 1987 when Universal Studios bought and produced K-9, a spec script I co-wrote. Other movie credits: Alaska (1996), starring Thora Birch, and Trojan War (1997), starring Jennifer Love Hewitt. Currently, I'm an Executive Producer with Distillery Pictures. In my spare time, I teach screenwriting at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and online through UCLA Extension, receiving the Writer's Program's Outstanding Instructor of the Year award in 2005.
